Life can be unpredictable and overwhelming, and we may have to deal with it alone. At Amplexum Counselling, we believe that many of us are traumatised not by being hurt but by being alone during times of hurt. So often, we say to ourselves, “if only I had someone to talk to”. Perhaps that desire is one of the reasons you came here.
Through counselling, we provide a safe space to explore, express and navigate your thoughts and emotions. We empower you to find the strength to flourish and develop self-compassion. Then, after counselling, you can wholeheartedly embrace your life, becoming the person you want to be.
